Besides
owls, hawks are by far my favorite birds of prey. It could be because
that they are so adaptable, and seeing them alongside highways and soaring
over urban areas and cities gives me a thrill - that even in environments
completely altered by humans, these impressive predators can still exist
and even thrive. I also love hawks because they are able to help control
the population of pigeons and other non-native species of birds. One
of my earliest drawing was of a Red-Tailed Hawk, and since then I've
been able to add several more species. At this time I'm kicking around
a few other species of North American hawks to draw (perhaps the Sharp-Shinned
Hawk) but I haven't made any decisions. If you have a specific species
of hawk you'd like to see here, or would like information about having
a custom illustration done please send me an
email.

Information about Hawks or Buzzards (Buetos):

Hawks are typically large, powerful birds of prey. This could mean any
members of the Accipiters, but this could also include eagles, kites, harriers,
buzzards, and Old World vultures. Strictly speaking, hawks are members of
the genera Accipiter, Micronisus, Melierax, Urotriorchis, and Megatriorchis.
The term also varied from region to region, for example in North America
hawks are members of the genus Buteos (soaring hawks) whereas in Europe
they would be considered "buzzards". Buetos are large, robust birds of prey.
They use often soar using thermals, searching for prey. The diet of the
hawk is varied, and they will feed on small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians
and even fish and carrion. Hawks are a very successful birds and are widespread
throughout the world. They are noted for their adaptability, and can survive
in rural, urban areas and in large cities as long as there is enough food
to sustain them. Some of the buteos are migratory, although usually only
partially and they will often remain in an area for the duration of the
winter.
